Pat-A-Pan

Guillô, prends ton tambourin,
Toi, prends ta flûte, Robin
Au son de ces instruments
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
Au son de ces instruments
Je dirai Noël, gaiement.
Willie, bring your little drum.
Robin, get your fife, and come,
And be merry while you play.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
We will listen as you play
For a joyful Christmas day.
When the men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise
They had pipes on which to play.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
They had drums on which to play.
For the joy of Christmas day.
oo oh oh oh oh God and man became today,
More in tune than fife and drum,
So be merry while you play.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
Come be merry while you play
On this joyous Christmas day.
While the angels wing
To the newborn King,
I will sing for the blessed Babe
On this joyous Christmas day.
God and man became today,
More in tune than fife and drum,
So be merry while you play.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
Come be merry while you play
On this joyous Christmas day.
While the angels wing
To the newborn King,
I will sing for the blessed Babe
On this joyous Christmas day.
(Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. Come and hear them patapan.)
Bring your little drum.
Robin, get your fife and come.
(Tu-re-lu-re-lu-ra-le. Come and hear them patapan.)
Men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise.
(On this joyous Christmas day)
Bring your little drum.
Robin, get your fife and come.
(Come be merry)
Men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise.
(On this joyous Christmas day.)
Bring your little drum.
Robin, get your fife and come.
(Come be merry)
Men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise.
(On this joyous Christmas day)
